Assessing Cocaine Use Patterns in the Brazilian Capital by Wastewater-Based Epidemiology
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-12-10)
The levels of cocaine (COC) and its metabolites benzoylecgonine (BE) and cocaethylene (COE) in wastewater samples from Brasilia, Brazil, were determined using liquid chromatography coupled to hybrid quadrupole-time-of-flight ...
Comprehensive determination of phthalate, terephthalate and di-iso-nonyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate metabolites in wastewater by solid-phase extraction and ultra(high)-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(Elsevier, 2021)
Plasticizers are chemical compounds used in the production of flexible plastics for a large variety of applications. They are present in most of the environments and, hence, we are highly exposed to them via several routes ...
The embodiment of wastewater data for the estimation of illicit drug consumption in Spain
(Elsevier, 2021)
Data obtained from wastewater analysis can provide rapid and complementary insights in illicit drug consumption at community level. Within Europe, Spain is an important country of transit of both cocaine and cannabis. The ...
Spatio‐temporal assessment of illicit drug use at large scale: evidence from 7 years of international wastewater monitoring
(Wiley, 2019-10-23)
Background and aims
Wastewater‐based epidemiology is an additional indicator of drug use that is gaining reliability to complement the current established panel of indicators. The aims of this study were to: (i) assess ...
Multi-year inter-laboratory exercises for the analysis of illicit drugs and metabolites in wastewater: Development of a quality control system
(Elsevier, 2018-03-22)
Thirty-seven laboratories from 25 countries present the development of an inter-laboratory testing scheme for the analysis of seven illicit drug residues in standard solutions, tap- and wastewater. Almost 10 000 concentration ...
Source identification of amphetamine-like stimulants in Spanish wastewater through enantiomeric profiling
(Elsevier, 2021)
Amphetamine (AMP), methamphetamine (MAMP) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) occur in wastewater not only as a result of illicit consumption, but also, in some cases, from prescription drug use or by direct drug ...
Assessing population exposure to phthalate plasticizers in thirteen Spanish cities through the analysis of wastewater
(Elsevier, 2020-06-22)
Phthalates are widely used plasticizers that produce endocrine-disrupting disorders. Quantifying exposure is crucial to perform risk assessments and to develop proper health measures. Herein, a wastewater-based epidemiology ...
